Subang Jaya - Transport

Transport

Subang Jaya is well-connected to the cities of Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam and the townships of Petaling Jaya such as Bandar Sunway, Ara Damansara, Kota Damansara, Bandar Utama, Damansara Utama and Mutiara Damansara via a network of major highways, namely the Federal Highway, Shah Alam Expressway (KESAS), NKVE, NPE, North South Espressway and LDP.

Persiaran Kewajipan and Persiaran Tujuan are the busiest road in Subang Jaya during rush hour from/to Kuala Lumpur.

The major route from USJ and Subang Jaya to Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya is the Subang-Kelana Jaya Link, which also connects the Persiaran Kewajipan roundabout of the New Pantai Expressway (MES-E|10) towards the Subang Airport expressway (route 15) of Federal Highway (route JKR|2).

Subang Jaya is also served by an urban-suburb rail link, the KTM Komuter, which provides transportation towards Port Klang and also Kuala Lumpur. In August 2006, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Mohd Najib Abdul Razak announced that the western end of the Kelana Jaya Line would be extended to Subang Jaya as well. The Kelana Jaya Line will be extended from the existing route from the Subang LRT Depot, running through the Dana 1 commercial centre in Kelana Jaya, to Kelana Centre Point, then to Subang Parade (interfaced with KTM Subang Jaya Komuter station), to Subang Jaya (3 stations), then to The Summit Square at USJ 1, to USJ 9 near the Al Falakh Mosque and the Subang Jaya headquarter police station (USJ 8), then will be connected to USJ 19. The main station hub is located at Putra Heights, which will eventually connect with the Ampang Line to Sri Petaling. The construction of the project is due to be started in the mid-year of 2011 and is expected to be completed in 2014.

Public bus transportation is provided by several companies such as RapidKL, Metrobus, and Triton. These buses provide routes around the city and also to Kuala Lumpur.

Kuala Lumpur's former international airport, the Subang Airport has since been renamed Subang Skypark after an extensive renovation by Subang SkyPark Sdn Bhd is located near the city. Also, it is nearby (and within the municipality), Ara Damansara and Kota Damansara. It serves as the main hub for turboprop airlines Firefly (a low-cost carrier subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines) and Berjaya Air and is the premier hub for corporate and private aviation in Southeast Asia.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:

    One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
